I have a few pending questions about the current output that I'd like to get some opinions on. Firstly, the spacing in -Ss output - there is an extra newline after each package. This was added a while back upon request, and i personally like it, but it makes the output real huge. Looks like the options are: * Keep the line (-Ss output) * Remove the line (-Qs output) * Add the line between repositories only. Secondly, we have an interesting -Ss "issue" here: $ pacman -Ss ^kernel26$ This should only output (duh) kernel26. However, it also displays kernel26beyond. This is because -Ss ALSO searches the provides=() entries for each package... this is a bit misleading. The options are as follows: * Keep this search and indicate, somewhere, that the package was matched due to a provides=() entry * Don't search provides=() at all So, I'd like some opinions on these two topics... there's probably more somewhere, but I can't think of any.
